Disk Start.vbs
Bug fix to stop database from starting when using Disk Start.vbs
File: Disk Start.vbs
Location: *\Uniform Server
Problem: MySQL server runs even after clicking the option not to run.
Solution: Proposed solution Edit the file as follows:
| Change the following: |
|---|
| t=MsgBox("Start the MySQL Database Server?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Database Support") If intDoIt = vbNo Then |
| To this: |
|---|
| t=MsgBox("Start the MySQL Database Server?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Database Support") If t = vbNo Then |
This solution although it is correct the script will not work!
There is a bug in Server_Start.bat; parameter %2 is not checked.
If %2 is reinstated in Server_Start.bat the above script needs to pass the correct parameters as follows:
| To this: |
|---|
| t=MsgBox("Start the MySQL Database Server?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Database Support") If t = vbNo Then |
On the forum I proposed an enhancement to the VBS where the drive letter is automatically detected unfortunately I also did not return the correct parameters. The following alternative solution takes this into account.
Alternative Solution
I have hacked the beta script around resolving issues mentioned above. In addition added two enhancements auto detection of first free drive letter and option to run a command prompt. Note: For this script to run correctly Server_Start.bat must be updated as described on this page.
Problem: MySQL server runs even after clicking the option not to run.
